Jack McDuff was an American jazz organist and band leader, born Eugene McDuffy on September 17, 1926, in Champaign, Illinois. He began his career in the 1950s as a pianist and bass player before joining Willis Jackson Quintet as an organist. In the 1960s, McDuff formed his own band with saxophonist Harold Vick, drummer Joe Dukes, and a young George Benson on guitar. He released albums on prestigious labels like Prestige, Atlantic, and Blue Note during this time.

In the late 1970s, McDuff switched to synthesizers and released albums on Chess and Sugar Hill Records. However, he made a comeback to the organ with his album "Bringin' It Home" in 1988. Sadly, Jack McDuff passed away in Minneapolis, Minnesota on January 23rd, 2001 after completing his final album.

Organist Brother Jack McDuff came to Blue Note and made one of the most ambitious albums of his career with Moon Rappin’, released in 1970.

It featured 5 funky, spaced-out originals including “Oblighetto,” which would later be sampled by A Tribe Called Quest as the foundation of two of their classic hip hop tracks “Scenario” and “Check the Rhime.” 

This Blue Note Classic Vinyl Edition is stereo, all-analog, mastered by Kevin Gray from the original master tapes, and pressed on 180g vinyl at Optimal.
